Frequently Asked Questions - KTCHR200 KENWOOD

What is HD Radio and how does it work?

HD Radio is a technology that allows digital broadcasts to be sent in addition to analog broadcasts on the same FM/AM frequencies. It improves sound quality (comparable to a CD in digital FM) and allows additional audio channels (up to 7 in FM). It also transmits text information such as the song title.

How to tune an HD Radio station?

Select the HD Radio source with the [SRC] button, then choose the FM or AM band with [FM] or [AM]. Use the [◀◀◀] or [▶▶▶] buttons to tune. You can also use search modes (AUTO1, AUTO2, MANU) to automatically find stations.

How to memorize a station (preset)?

Tune to the desired station, then press one of the [1] to [6] buttons for at least 2 seconds. The frequency and channel are saved. To recall a preset, briefly press the corresponding key.

What do the messages 'Linking' or 'HD# Off' mean?

Linking: the selected auxiliary channel is being searched or not receiving. HD# Off / #CH Off / OFF: the auxiliary channel is not available, or the reception mode is set to Analog; then switch the mode to Auto or Digital.

How to clean the device?

Wipe the front panel with a dry, soft cloth (e.g. silicone). For stubborn stains, use a cloth lightly moistened with a neutral cleaner, then wipe with a dry cloth. Never use abrasive products.

Why is reception poor?

Check that the antenna is fully extended and that the antenna control cable is properly connected. In case of digital/analog instability, set the reception mode to Analog. Also ensure connections are correct.

Can I use HD Radio in dual zone mode?

No, the HD Radio source cannot be selected in dual zone mode. If you encounter this issue, select another source for the secondary zone.

How to reset the device?

If the device does not respond, press the reset button on the control unit. This resets the microprocessor.

What accessories are supplied with the KTCHR200?

The package contains: a connection cable (accessory ①), two Velcro straps (accessory ③), and an installation guide. The instruction manual is available online.

Where to install the HD Radio tuner in the car?

Install the unit in a place protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and dust. Secure it firmly with the supplied Velcro straps on the carpet. Avoid placing the device near the dashboard or rear shelf to prevent risk in case of impact.

HD Radio technology enables broadcasters to transmit a digital signal with its analog signal using existing frequency allocations for FM and AM stations. Quality of broadcast is improved to the level of music CD in digital FM and that of analog FM in digital AM. Moreover, if receiving condition is good, you can listen to programs in stereo with the digital AM broadcast. Digital FM of Supplemental Audio Services can send up to 7 channels of the Supplemental Program Audio other than the Main Program Audio.

• Main Program Audio (hereafter called Main channel)
  • Supplemental Program Audio (hereafter called Sub channel)

(HD AM band)

Digital broadcasting can send other information than audio, so you can display data such as title of music.

- Please do not install the unit near the dashboard, the rear tray, or other important components. Doing so could lead to injury or accident should the unit come off due to a shock and strike a person or an important component.

- Do not stick the velcro tape over the serial number.

Troubleshooting Guide

What might appear to be a malfunction in your unit may just be the result of slight misoperation or miswiring. Before calling service, first check the following table for possible problems.

? The HD Radio mode cannot be selected.

√ The connection wire is not connected.

Use the connection wire to connect the control unit and the HD Radio tuner.

? Nothing happens when the buttons are pressed.

√ The computer chip in the unit is not functioning normally.

Press the reset button on the Control/Controller unit.

? No sound can be heard, or the volume is low.

√ The input/output wires or wiring harness are connected incorrectly.

Reconnect the input/output wires and/or the wiring harness correctly. See the section on .

√ The preset broadcast station is not transmitting in the mode that was set with .

Please set to "Auto".

√ It switches between the Digital broadcasting and Analog broadcasting too often.

If the receiving condition is bad, should be set to "Analog".

√ In digital AM broadcasting, receive mode switches between stereo and monaural too often.

Receiving condition is bad or unstable. Stereo is chosen when receiving condition is good, and it switches to monaural when the condition becomes bad.

√ The source mode was changed or the power switch was turned on.

The monaural signals are received several seconds after power-on or after FM tuning to an HD Radio station.

? Radio reception is poor.

√ The car antenna is not extended.

Pull the antenna out all the way.

√ The antenna control wire is not connected.

Connect the wire correctly, referring to the section on .

? The tuner cannot be used by the Dual Zone System.

√ The HD Radio source cannot be selected by the Dual Zone System.

An internal source other than Tuner can be selected.

The messages shown below display your systems condition.

Linking: Although the Sub channel was selected, it is under reading or has not been received.

HD# Off/#CH Off/OFF:

- The Sub channel, which cannot be used, was selected.

- is set to "Analog"; therefore, the channel cannot be used.

Set (page En-5/10/13) to "Auto" or "Digital".

- In HD Radio mode, the display of Station Name or Song title should be set up. The channel information cannot be displayed in the Frequency display. (page En-6/8/11)
